In particular my Aquamage was very suboptimal with too many expensive spells and ones that were hard to use well. Particularly Host Shadowbeast which I was planning to cast on the Sentinel or Ektar giving extra attacks (doubling these with the Dualist ability on Sentinel too vs enemy individuals like the damn Efreets!). But with the short 12" range of this it was never going to happen without exposing my Mage to huge danger. His dual with the Efreet was a miserable end to his incompetent existence in this first game... I think Celestial Restoration in a list with more regenerating and surging units (i.e. Water Elementals) would be a much better use of him.<br /><br />Meanwhile the Efreet with Boots of Levitation must be most valued unit this time, racing around blasting away multiple units, and the Diadem Efreet would have also done solid work if he had escaped the Power Drain effect and being hunted. Molochs comboed with Warlocks were also very solid wrecking my units, though Ektar again saved the day, retreating into difficult ground and just managing to hold up the central Moloch unit until he could be rescued by a combo charge. And I finally managed to use Sticky Tongue to good effect.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Anyway another great game and we will play the final 3000 point clash in the Astral Plane once Vaughan paints up a few more units! :)</div></div>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-7319294853987112622021-10-30T19:19:00.006+13:002021-10-30T19:40:20.296+13:00Halpi's Rift - Empyrean Plane<p>Third game in Halpi's Rift Campaign - the Empyrean Plane. This is the "good" plane with forests that heal units in them, and chapels that inspire your nearby units (so allowing them to reroll break tests if they don't already have inspire). Plus the channeling table helps and heals your units. The magic is a bit weird in this one as your spellcasters heal if they are in the opponents half of the board, but they take damage equal to the turn number, and increase their spells by a level if on your side of the board.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAIbF2MF0N9GHIq_qDOHwZwv6hurlSrX3xABdRwEAkH_CxgEixmOZpRMljwqkdzngl48JkkcQaiFPSFdCpfIPf-6Z0OYaxkJU3tG9b4e_UXkY3hkeacV8UZB_Tx5ZKpX2PnsECzoQiFSZ/s2048/20211030_102139+%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1059" data-original-width="2048" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAIbF2MF0N9GHIq_qDOHwZwv6hurlSrX3xABdRwEAkH_CxgEixmOZpRMljwqkdzngl48JkkcQaiFPSFdCpfIPf-6Z0OYaxkJU3tG9b4e_UXkY3hkeacV8UZB_Tx5ZKpX2PnsECzoQiFSZ/s320/20211030_102139+%25284%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>I continued using my Trident Realms and Vaughan his Abyssals, though with changes to lists.

It was looking very grim for the Riverguard until Turn 5 when I got a slim chance for achieving a draw. The Abyssals had a chance to multi-charge my Water Elementals with two Succubi Regiments but favoured doing it with just the one Banechanted unit, that came to within one point of destroying them, but ultimately let them live and regenerate and fight back, killing the two Succubi regiments and snatching a chest for the draw. The Archfiend killed the Sentinel who was aiming for the Hellhounds holding the left side treasure chest, but this also meant it failed to reclaim the central chest.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another fun game and more learning for both of us and we will be onto the Empyrean Plane (Good) for the third battle!</div>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-24662194308743317392021-07-03T14:21:00.009+12:002021-10-30T19:45:30.130+13:00Halpi's Rift - Material Plane<p style="text-align: justify;">Vaughan and I played our first Halpi's Rift game today, with his Abyssals taking on my Riverguard on the Material Plane.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWSbw1ed_EVcnxIBi6n3OVXobfv2qISK5M0w6dJ36SMGh9Yqlla5HoyWqU6GUF_gd8C09_paBrEEOG0bbYKcKor6kh9z30pPF6-rBzT3lE1vmqvj3erzgwaMZ1v3SSlEOwUAnCqoVc9YJJ/s2528/20210703_101744+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1244" data-original-width="2528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWSbw1ed_EVcnxIBi6n3OVXobfv2qISK5M0w6dJ36SMGh9Yqlla5HoyWqU6GUF_gd8C09_paBrEEOG0bbYKcKor6kh9z30pPF6-rBzT3lE1vmqvj3erzgwaMZ1v3SSlEOwUAnCqoVc9YJJ/s320/20210703_101744+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/kings-of-war-clash-of-kings-2021-halpis-rift/33882877?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8vqGBhC_ARIsADMSd1AbVAP-mJNQ383uJIdDxVD9WzZdIk0M9jENd7J8JHbQlzObvSYAsTUaAlgpEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Halpi's Rift</a> is a campaign supplement for Kings of War.

The building on the right with the blue roof brought along by Vaughan is the Bard's Taphouse (can't be wavered if within 6" of it). And spellcasters within 12" of centre of table (marked by standing stone) can reroll their spell dice, but take a damage for each dice rerolled. Also start of each turn you roll dice equal to your spellcaster levels on a Chanelling table and you can get various random magical effects happening.<br /><br /><p>I used the Riverguard Trident Relams army I just used in the Oamaru tournament.</p><ul style="text-align: start;"><li>2 Riverguard Treeleaper Regiments</li><li>2 Riverguard Treeleaper Troops</li><li>Riverguard Dambuster Horde</li><li>2 Tidal (Frog) Swarm Regiments</li><li>2 Depth Horror Hordes</li><li>Kraken (Froghemoth)</li><li>Depth Horror Eternal</li><li>Riverguard Dambuster Sentinel</li><li>Ecktar</li></ul><p>Vaughan's Army was:</p><div><ul><li>Abyssal Guard Regiment with Dragonshard Shield</li><li>2 Succubi Regiments</li><li>Hellhound Regiment</li><li>Flamebearer Troop</li><li>Molochs with Strider Boots and Imp</li><li>Gargoyle Troop</li><li>Efreet</li><li>Seductresss with Bane Chant</li><li>Harbringer</li><li>Chroneas</li><li>Archfiend of the Abyss</li></ul></div><br />We determined scenario and it was invade (player with most unit strength in opponents half of table wins at end of the game).

An interesting matchup with the Abyssals having a range of units that can cause mine much trouble, but also having to deal with all my Ensare and speed. Meanwhile my frog units also found themselves struggling agains the ensare of the Succubi, especially when they were also in the difficult terrain of the lagoon!<br /><br />The special magical effects didn't have a huge impact on the game. They slowed the Succubi down so they were unable to move as far as they wished, and chanelling ended up inflicting a few points of damage. Especially one turn each the five extra attacks option, that benefited the Depth Horror Eternal in killing the Efreet, and the Archfiend in killing my Dambuster Sentinel. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next battle will be the Abyssal Plane... </div>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-32897267019202489572021-06-28T20:12:00.015+12:002021-07-03T13:59:29.797+12:00The Oamaru Muster - Kings of War Tourni report<div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've just got back from a fantastic weekend away down at the Oamaru Muster Kings of War Event.

These have a great look to them, with more 'realistic' proportions and equipment (if that's possible), that I prefer to other currently in production fantasy frog offerings. I had a few Warhammer Slaan figures (<a href="https://jonswargamesminis.blogspot.com/2011/02/servants-of-old-ones.html?fbclid=IwAR1y1rzNORpQwRzX8OnnzlIwBekCcqhtSamiiSstuPibkgoPnFY5OCmVLbc" target="_blank">see here for example of these</a>) many years ago, and always wanted this 'ancient amphibian' style army.

Much repositioning of tentacles occurred to make the poses different. In Kings of War, a scary crushing, ensaring, wild charging, regenerating beast.

I'm looking foward to getting them on the table, including at the local Oamaru Muster event next month. I also have have many questions about how to use this army effectively. In Kings of War it has many unique but expensive abilities, that will require quite some finesse to use well. Will it hop to honour? Or will it be shot down by Archery, ridden down by Knights, smashed by Giants, and crushed by Dragons? And speaking of Dragons, will it feature on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4dAoGGEUfY&list=PLVsMEi8JZKYvzRCcRai-Jirbqc824VZnI" target="_blank">Death by Dragons community update</a>? :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Only time will tell, thanks for looking! :)</div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/51BQfPeSK8k" width="320" youtube-src-id="51BQfPeSK8k"></iframe></div><div><br /></div>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-91323201506028441962021-05-16T19:22:00.011+12:002021-05-17T21:02:26.734+12:00KOW Battlereport: Easterling Men vs Free Dwarves<div style="text-align: justify;">Craig C was visiting Christchurch today, so we met up at the local wargames club for a Kings of War Game, his Easterling flavoured Kingdom's of Men army against my Free Dwarves.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Craig is organising the 'Oamaru Muster' Kings of War event in (suprisingly enough) Oamaru late June which I am looking forward to.</div><div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtDIa1W2kKCeewW-z_K-nbo1rig6i7AzFBeQXgvd3Eaxc7S5EyqM6UYCx0-mBsLGcPLuYZYdFdqrMT6jzGUz0m3r6Z2vyv7IM0g0HLCHjN1wc6vKbMex31uaw9pC1vfndUuvMdexyII_WS/s2048/20210516_132242+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1315" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtDIa1W2kKCeewW-z_K-nbo1rig6i7AzFBeQXgvd3Eaxc7S5EyqM6UYCx0-mBsLGcPLuYZYdFdqrMT6jzGUz0m3r6Z2vyv7IM0g0HLCHjN1wc6vKbMex31uaw9pC1vfndUuvMdexyII_WS/s320/20210516_132242+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div><div><div><br /></div><div><u>My Free Dwarf List was</u>:</div><div><br /></div><div>2 Ironclad Hordes with Mastiffs</div><div>2 Shieldbreaker Regiments with Mastiffs</div><div>2 Mastiff Packs with Mastiffs</div><div>2 Rangers (1 upgraded to Herneas's Elite Rangers)</div><div>3 Ironbreaker Cannons</div><div>Packmaster</div><div>Herneas the Hunter (using the newer Female ranger for him this game, so his sister Hernietta)</div><div>Bannick Kolearm</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><u>Craig's Easterling List was</u>:</div></div><div><br /></div><div>3 Knight Regiments</div><div>2 Mounted Scout Troops</div><div>1 Bowmen Regiment</div><div>1 Footguard Horde (Brew of Strength)</div><div>1 Giant</div><div>1 Allied Ogre Horde</div><div>General on Winged Beast</div><div>General on Horse</div><div>Wizard on Horse (Lightning Bolt, Boomstick)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Game</h3><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here's the deployment and Men have first turn.

Nonetheless I think MVP's this game were probably the two Mounted Scout Troops for the Men, and Hernietta and Rangers for the Dwarves!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did better with my Dwarves this time (their fifth game now!), by holding back, choosing better targets and planning ahead more carefully. Dwarves are an army one must have more patience with than the usual more aggressive armies I favour, which I guess suits their character well, if not my own! :)<br /><br />Mistakes I made included that I should have scouted to the edge of the forest with my Rangers prior to my first turn in order to be in an optimum firing position from the start. Perhaps too I should have had a cannon on my left flank to help threaten units there, but the field of fire was limited which discouraged me from doing this, and maybe rightly so.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Edit: And Craig has added his own report <a href="https://craigswargamingblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/kow-easterlings-vs-free-dwarves-2000-pts.html" target="_blank">here</a>, check it out! :)</div>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-19353264452743088782021-04-04T15:25:00.005+12:002021-04-05T09:19:16.049+12:00ADLG Battlereport: Seleucid vs Roman & Jewish<div class="separator"><div style="text-align: justify;">Making the most of holidays, an ADLG game today.

And hopefully vaccines knock the stuffing out of the pandemic and people everywhere can get back to gaming!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another motivation for attending the convention was a comment I made in the local Christchurch Historical Wargaming Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2252697938390804" target="_blank">facebook page</a> recently:<br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>"A problem with the historical scene I think is that many players tend to be a bit older with more resources, and so set up their own gaming space (i.e. at home) and have a crew they hang out with. Unfortunately it is also something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, in that the more historical gamers do this, the less reason other such gamers have to go to the club. And the less younger players in other systems are exposed to historical gaming. This despite the fact that the club has fantastic resources we could only dream of last century! Many boxes of great terrain and terrrain mats, and a bar and food on site!"</i><br /><br />So as expected, most of the players were playing fantasy/sci-fi, though some of us were playing Ancients, including myself Mike, Brett, Gordon and two Brian's (neither the messiah) in 28mm.

Battlecart use is quite different compared to some other ancients rules we have used. They seem mainly useful as something to disrupt and cause absolute havoc in the enemy line, being difficult to manouevre and difficult to react with. Almost like expendable scythed chariots in other ancients systems, except that they are also as tough as your best heavy cavalry! More useful as an attacking than a reserve force I think. Also on my right here, Andrew held back when I think just charging the missile troops (who don't last long once you get among them), would have been preferable to being a pin cushion. My feeling is that Battlecarts and missile troops are more points efficient than the heavy infantry, but that is just an impression after three games.</p>Chasseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-34270767700944478632021-01-17T20:16:00.012+13:002021-01-17T22:37:00.438+13:00Dwarves Part 5 - Basing and Force Completed<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Basing finished and 1500 points of Free Dwarves finished.

I've added quite a detailed post on this, as it's something people often have questions about. This is just one way of doing it that I find effective, but there are many other ways of course. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the reasons people like Kings of War is multibasing. This saves the cumbersome chore of setting up hundreds of individual figures each game as you needed to do in older systems like Warhammer. As newcomers to that system often remarked, these individual figures functioned as nothing more than wound tokens on a regiment base and often led to battles between ugly empty looking movement trays. These perceptions contributed to poor sales and the eventual killing of Warhammer by GW unfortunately. This is sad, but after using multibasing for a while, I have to admit that going back to movement trays and individual figures feels like about as much fun as shifting from movement trays to the time before movement trays - if anyone remembers that far back!<br /><br />As to where you get multibases, there are ones made for Kings of War by Mantic like <a href="https://www.manticgames.com/games/kings-of-war/accessories-kings-of-war/small-movement-tray-pack/" target="_blank">these</a> which you can also put your individually based models on (I use these for my old Warhammer armies which are still individually based), or MDF bases like <a href="https://battlekiwi.com/product-category/bases/kings-of-war-bases/" target="_blank">these</a> are what I used here.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some people create beautiful and elaborate dioramas, with highly scenic multibases. I prefer my own bases to blend in with the tabletop more, so go with the style shown above. People have already made some very good videos and posts on multibasing - see <a href="https://www.manticgames.com/news/a-guide-to-multibasing-in-kings-of-war/" target="_blank">here</a> on the Mantic site for just a few examples. A very common method is to do a scenic base and finish this, and then stick the figures on afterwards. This is fine, though earlier Mantic figures like my Dwarves came with plastic bases you would have to chop off to do that. But having the bases suits me because I'm going to glue the figures on the bases and then complete the basing texture, ensuring a very solid attachment!<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here's the steps to doing that... </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Firstly I put some of the basing material on bases between models feet, glued on with PVA/white wood glue. This takes only a few seconds per model and saves having to reach these tricky spots when they are all on the base. The basing material is just the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqfr084l14M" target="_blank">brown basing material</a> from Army Painter, though brown railroad ballast does the same job and is probably cheaper.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoR5gEl_McPTOpZQ5dFK8mKApk01seBGEYNajzvFrzK83JHlH7M9Xy-7V2sIb6-H6XYVDZUKdEGuJKCxm5b9n4ui6PKTMbeQIEfOtZp_v2nYXV6iSFeDdxI0DBjpbZMEfPg7jyxdfPE_qo/s2048/20210116_172916+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1257" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoR5gEl_McPTOpZQ5dFK8mKApk01seBGEYNajzvFrzK83JHlH7M9Xy-7V2sIb6-H6XYVDZUKdEGuJKCxm5b9n4ui6PKTMbeQIEfOtZp_v2nYXV6iSFeDdxI0DBjpbZMEfPg7jyxdfPE_qo/s320/20210116_172916+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then it is on to fitting the models to their bases. The artillery are dry fitted (testing position without glue), then crew are glued in place onto their wooden MDF bases.

Kings of War does not have a set number of models per base, rather it is the "Rule of Cool". I.e. you should put what looks aesthetically pleasing for the figures you have, though still making it clear to the opponent what sort of unit you have. Having at least half plus one of the number of the number of figures in a unit is a typical minimum.<br /><br />There is also a guideline called "Preferred Model Count" which is aiming for at least 75% of the figures the unit would have at full strength, if you can. That is what I'm aiming for here. The reason for going for this reduced number is that the models rank up more naturally, and figures don't overhang the base - which can be annoying in play, and increases risk of damage to the models. It is not that easy to fit on even this reduced number though! </div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY4sZhcsMGlGTpFG4B2traWd9xUxx5LsiFhNge38uH6sI7lRc99JWMaNk5NTVFZwoRo7KzsqFb0zFYjkFfX4N_9odAhY7rWDlNY-rOb8Kpuzu8MRB0CnYj-flX0Di4ePCrKbfSduepMjl2/s2048/20210116_192831+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1207" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY4sZhcsMGlGTpFG4B2traWd9xUxx5LsiFhNge38uH6sI7lRc99JWMaNk5NTVFZwoRo7KzsqFb0zFYjkFfX4N_9odAhY7rWDlNY-rOb8Kpuzu8MRB0CnYj-flX0Di4ePCrKbfSduepMjl2/s320/20210116_192831+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once again I'm dryfitting these Shieldbreakers before gluing.

I'll spend more time on the characters, but for the approximately 100 troops in this main batch, I'm going for quick mass painting. The goal is something that will look good from a couple of feet away on the tabletop. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm choosing dark blue and green for Free Dwarves. According to the background in <a href="https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/kings-of-war-3rd-edition-uncharted-empires/31969659" target="_blank">Uncharted Empires</a>, <a href="https://pannithor-kow.fandom.com/wiki/Free_Dwarfs">Free Dwarves</a> often favour blues, greens and white (colours of the land above ground), while their <a href="https://pannithor-kow.fandom.com/wiki/Dwarfs">Imperial Dwarf</a> cousins more often use reds, browns and golds (colours of the underground).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLMZlYKIfoMmqcke7nNbxH8Ga3yX-GH5xir1mk0kFEPRGWXVAg3_1xz0Huhoa2NUz8zW5KXwQM3wr5kAAP06TjM2IvdKOD7Pf799hVhfei1nsaHcaoUUCSHQ_nzYiYSP35j9Re2R1dnA/s2597/20210107_222239+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="888" data-original-width="2597" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLMZlYKIfoMmqcke7nNbxH8Ga3yX-GH5xir1mk0kFEPRGWXVAg3_1xz0Huhoa2NUz8zW5KXwQM3wr5kAAP06TjM2IvdKOD7Pf799hVhfei1nsaHcaoUUCSHQ_nzYiYSP35j9Re2R1dnA/s320/20210107_222239+%25285%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The Rangers will be wearing green, the war engines will be green, and most of the rest will have this dark blue. Armour will be mostly silver. The shield emblem is a stylised mountain that seems appropriate to Free Dwarves. Looking at it, it also reminds me of the sort of thing that might be a milk carton logo... but nevermind that! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The trouble with dark colours is that they can look a bit meh on the table by themselves. However, I think the beards, white on the shields, and bright silver armour contrasts nicely with the dark blue/green and brightens them up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjllBFiz8Ucch6GyGkDMISmX5hqjwflJVEhBbu3HZfi13l9LeQkdZmfFrc7OgI9_mKL3CmEQZL3BLUk6SJt1n0xzAwacvWY_DDFkxPdPwHzFF8EOn9gaIrY9hwFPFO4O17scqUB_go_9s/s2048/20210107_222236+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1037" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjllBFiz8Ucch6GyGkDMISmX5hqjwflJVEhBbu3HZfi13l9LeQkdZmfFrc7OgI9_mKL3CmEQZL3BLUk6SJt1n0xzAwacvWY_DDFkxPdPwHzFF8EOn9gaIrY9hwFPFO4O17scqUB_go_9s/s320/20210107_222236+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Blue is Vallejo Dark Prussian blue highlighted with Dark Blue, Green is Deep Green (which I'll use over Black Green on the clothing for the Rangers).
